NRCA member Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., Deerfield Beach, Fla., continues to aid in the relief effort to rebuild communities in the Bahamas after Category 5 Hurricane Dorian displaced thousands of people from their homes in 2019. More than a year after the hurricane hit, many people in the affected area still are tent camping because they do not have waterproofed roofs or livable housing.
Polyglass U.S.A. partnered with Sol Relief, a disaster relief organization based in St. Petersburg, Fla., and has contributed several shipments of self-adhered roof membranes to build waterproof roofs so families can move back into their homes.
“This past November, Polyglass U.S.A. generously donated 2,428 rolls of waterproof roofing membranes, a retail value of more than $187,000,” says Tracy Harris, director of operations for Sol Relief. “This incredibly generous donation will provide waterproof protection for over 300 homes in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas. This donation was in addition to the 621 rolls, over $46,000 worth, Polyglass donated in May of 2020, which provided 80 homes with waterproof roofs. Sol Relief and the residents of Marsh Harbour are forever grateful to Polyglass for their amazing support.”
